24

well jack is back. this week sees the return to tv of one of the greatest shows ever.
yes 24 is back.
the problem for me is that i will not be watching it as it is meant to be watched in weekly installments, rushing home to make sure that i am sat in front of the box ready to see what threat jack and ctu have to thwart and just how far will jack go in order to make sure that truth and justice prevail.
unusually jack is an anti-hero who is not afriad to break eggs in order to make his omelette. in a brave move on the part of the creators of the show the american heroes are not all portrayed as being nice people, they often have to make hard decisions and do the wrong thing for the right reason.
it is truly amazing tv. in each of the previous series the ante has been upped and then upped again.
those of us who have watched it love it. we appreciate the fact that it is ludicrous, but we allow this because the show is done with a panache that is so rare these days. for the time you are sat in front of the screen watching it all the plot holes and impossibilities are put to one side as you sit down and get drawn into the web of lies that always make up the working the counter terrorist unit.
if you have never watched it get yourself over to a tv screen for the first episode and prepare for a wild ride.

me i am without a workign tv so i am relying on my friendly pushers of dvds to come to my rescue. will i get to see it all?
the next 24 weeks are going to be tough, they are going to get tense, and things are likely to get ugly before they get better, but with jack's help (well actually jim and paul's help) i should make it through this tough ordeal.

stop looking at this go and make sure you know where you will be when 24 starts to screen on the box. don't miss it. total quality.
